Maximal torque RPM

3,000 >
4,495 revolutions/minute

A wider range and a lower number of revolutions at which the maximum torque is delivered has an impact on an engine’s performance. However, in order to have a full perspective on a car’s engine performance, it is worth to analyze a torque performance graph.

Extra-urban consumption

Width

1,784 >
1,695 mm

Width of a car directly affects interior space for travelers and also stability while driving. The Opel Frontera B Standard 3.2 V6 205HP manual 4x4 is widther only by 89 millimeters compared with the Mitsubishi and is not really important.

5 >
4 gears

The Opel Frontera B has a one extra
speed in comparison to the
Mitsubishi Pajero Sport I 3.0 V6 170HP automatic 4x4. Most often the
additional speed is used as an overdrive thanks to which the previous
gears can be narrower in order to
allow better performance in the
lower gears. One more speed also will contribute to smaller
fuel consumption and CO2 emission.

Ground clearance

217 >
203 mm

Ground clearance is a vital factor in several important features of a vehicle. Ride height is very important in off-road cars still all cars appreciate the higher suspension. The Opel Frontera B Standard 3.2 V6 205HP manual 4x4 has 14 mm larger clearance when compared with the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport I.

Rear track

Model release date

1998 >
1996

Because of the fact that the Mitsubishi was unveiled only 2 years prior to the Opel, the distance in technology applied in both cars is not really big, however, the Opel Frontera B Standard might feature a bit more advanced solutions used in it.

Height

1,740 >
1,720 mm

The higher a car is, the better is the comfort of boarding it and greater capacity of carrying massive amount of stuff to it. The difference between these two cars of 1 % in favor of the Opel Frontera B Standard is insignificant and should not be really noticeable.

Urban consumption

17.5 >
17.9 l

The fuel consumption of the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport I is 2 percent smaller when compared to the Opel. Despite the difference is insensible, in the long run it may cause that the vehicle would be much less expensive to use.

Wheelbase

2,725 >
2,695 mm

The wheelbase of a car equals the length separating its front and rear wheels. The wheelbase significantly affects the driving because of better car's weight distribution. Mitsubishi Pajero Sport I has 30 millimeters longer wheelbase distance than Opel Frontera B Standard. Wheelbase dimensions are crucial to the balance and steering. Thus, the mass of Mitsubishi should be better distributed and driving should be easier and safer.

Transmission

automatic >
manual

A manual transmission that is placed in the Opel is more simpler construction and is cheaper in use, however, it is less comfortable because it requires the driver to operate clutch to shift gears very often, especialy in a jammed city traffic where we have lots of stop and go situations. An automatic gearbox which is in the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport I 3.0 V6 170HP automatic 4x4 with gears in the amount of 4 – speeds gearbox is in our opinion better to use.
